Seahawks punter throws touchdown pass on trick play

by Brandon Wise | CBSSports.com

Seahawks punter Jon Ryan doesn't normally throw the ball. But when called on Sunday, Ryan delivered. With Seattle down 16-0, the Seahawks lined up for what would have been a 38 yard field goal, when Ryan pulled the ball away from kicker Steven Hauschka and started to scramble.

Ryan then saw offensive lineman Garry Gilliamdown the field in the end zone and tossed it for a touchdown. It was Ryan's first career touchdown pass and first pass he had attempted since 2009.

The Seahawks got offensive contributions from several role players in their Week 5 win at Washington. Tight end Cooper Helfet made a 36-yard catch on two targets, and tight end Luke Willson caught three of four targets for 28 yards.

Holder Jon Ryan executed a fake field goal, picking up a first down with a 5-yard run.

Seahawks kicker Steven Hauschka and punter Jon Ryan have been to MetLife to practice.

Both players need to be aware of the field conditions, which is why they've already practiced at the stadium. There's some concern that the weather won't be ideal on Sunday, so it's important both players know what they are facing.
